Well let me be the 2nd then to comment,

Its clear as friggin day,  guy sent in a doctored card,  pasted a 
printer label
over the top of a QSO for another band,  ARRL saw it in person and said
"Fake" card,  and disqualified him

His gripe is he was just sending it to "test" them to check it out,  
didnt really
mean to submit it,
If they would have just passed it through and given credit,  do you 
think he
would have said one word.

No translation needed,  simple easy logic.    Attitude or tone BS,
Facts are facts.
